Chapter 388 refusal

Luolong City Sealing Spirit Array, a total of nine array sources, arranged in the direction of the nine palaces, respectively guarded by nine major sects.

The Taoist was stationed in the northwest corner of Luolong City and was responsible for the source of the northwest phalanx.

When Xiao Yi returned to the station with Changjing Zhenren, there were already eight Taoist disciples sitting cross-legged in a Tai Chi array, guiding them with their true qi to send the spiritual energy of the heaven, earth and yang into the formation source.

This place is far away from the altar, and the yin qi is weak, Changjing Zhenren saw that the eight disciples could still deal with it, and after a while, he led Xiao Yi and Jing Shu to the temporary meeting hall.

As a law enforcement disciple, Na Mingkun fell behind, extremely conflicted in his heart, and said: "This junior brother Xiao Yi has a murder case, and according to the canon, he should be temporarily detained and wait for his fate." But he has made a great contribution to Taoism today, survived a catastrophe for Taoism, made great contributions, and should be rewarded. These two are important matters, how should we deal with them?"

Changjing Zhenren entered the hall, first bowed to the portrait of the ancestor of Boyang hanging in the main hall, turned around and saw Mingkun, and said: "You find a clean house for Jingshu and live first." Then, he said to Jingshu: "Your master has sent messages to inquire about you many times, you go to rest first, and then send a message back to your master." ”

When Jing Shu heard this, she knew that Changjing Zhenren wanted to talk to Xiao Yi alone, so she agreed, glanced at Xiao Yi, and exited the hall.

Na Mingkun knew that he couldn't make a decision for the time being, shook his head, and was about to leave, when Changjing Zhenren suddenly said: "Ming Ran's death has nothing to do with Xiao Yi, this matter is over, and Hugh has to investigate again." ”

Ming Kun was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "The Taoist rules are strict, how can you ......?"

Changjing Zhenren immediately interrupted: "This is the matter, I will personally explain to Senior Brother Changdan, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, just close the case." ”

Since Changjing Zhenren had already said this, although Mingkun felt that it was inappropriate, he could only agree.

After Mingkun left, Changjing Zhenren suddenly asked, "Xiao Yi, what realm have you cultivated to now?" After a pause, he guessed: "Dacheng in the Bigu Period?"

The next step is to enter the Chengdan period.

In Taoism, the disciples of Dacheng in the Bigu period can already be regarded as successful in cultivation and can open a sect to accept disciples. Changjing Zhenren had already investigated the condition of Xiao Yi's body with his mind, and he did not find Yuan Dan in his dantian, so he guessed that he was in the realm of Dacheng in the Bigu period.

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "The disciple's cultivation methods are quite complicated, and he knows very little about Taoist exercises, and he doesn't know what realm he has reached at this time. ”

Changjing Zhenren suddenly remembered the little beggar who had just entered the Taoist family, sighed in his heart, and suddenly said: "Xiao Yi, I want to take you as an apprentice, are you willing?"

"Changjing Zhenren accepted me as an apprentice?" Xiao Yi asked again as if he hadn't heard clearly.

Changjing Zhenren smiled and nodded.

The Taoist "long" disciples have long stopped accepting disciples, and the new disciples are all worshipping under the knees of the "Ming" disciples, sorted by the word "yuan". Because of the Taoist lineage and the scarcity of people, Xiao Yi had the honor to worship under the seat of the Changqing Taoist, and was the same generation as the disciples of the "Ming" generation.

The Taoist law enforcement elder personally opened his mouth to accept disciples, and if he was heard by others, he didn't know how envious he was. In the minds of others, worshipping Changjing Zhenren as a teacher is equivalent to one step to the sky, which is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.

However, in the face of such a big temptation, Xiao Yi hesitated.

Seeing this, Changjing Zhenren frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment before he said: "The intention of the real person, Xiao Yi fully understands. But Xiao Yi is no longer a Taoist disciple, how can he still worship under the real person again?"

Changjing is truly humane: "Today's move to quit Taoism is just forced by the situation, and you can't do it accurately." As long as I include you in the sect again, you will still be a Taoist disciple. ”

Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "In the eyes of real people, Xiao Yi is forced by the situation. However, for Xiao Yi, he was sincere and did not deceive. ”

Changjing Zhenren suddenly said sharply: "What are you talking about?" There was anger in his eyes, and his shoulders trembled with excitement, which showed that this incident shook his heart greatly.

Xiao Yi had already guessed that Changjing Zhenren would have such a reaction, lowered his head, did not dare to look at him, and said slowly: "In the past two years since I left Tianmai Mountain, my disciples have encountered a lot, and I have learned a lot of Taoism from other families, and my thoughts are no longer as pure as before, and I can no longer be a Taoist disciple." Moreover, after seeing the many bad deeds of Taoist disciples, the disciples were even more disheartened and had no intention of returning to Taoism. ”

Changjing Zhenren said angrily: "It is precisely when Taoism has reached the current state that you should stay and work with me to reorganize Taoism and re-establish the prestige of Taoism." ”

Today's incident hit Changjing Zhenren very hard, and it was easy to discover Xiao Yi's hope, but he found that it was just his wishful thinking, his mind was agitated, and it was difficult to control his emotions for a while.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi shook his head and said: "Taoism does nothing, if you deliberately revitalize Taoism, it will make Taoism go further and further on the road of Taoism." Isn't it because of such thoughts that Taoism has come to this point? How did real people strayed into such thoughts?"

When Changjing Zhenren heard this, as if he had been hit hard, he took a few steps backwards and sat down on a chair. He is a master of the Tao, because the blow is too big, he messed up, and after Xiao Yi, he reflected on it. However, after thinking about it for a while, his expression became more and more painful.

Since he served as a Taoist law enforcement elder, he has taken it as his greatest wish in this life to spread the Tao and make the Tao a way that everyone must learn, so he discussed the way of the world with Xiao Yi when he was in a million mountains. Unexpectedly, when Taoism reached his generation, it was like a river declining, and it fell to the point of being openly oppressed. What's even more tragic is that at this time, whether he does it or not, whether he does it or not, whether he does it or not, it is completely wrong.

After a while, his heart was broken, and he muttered, "Is it just like this, let the Taoists fend for themselves?"

Xiao Yi said: "Inheriting the Tao is no better than governing the world. If the Tao is inactive, it should be taught by the method of non-action, so that people can truly understand the meaning of non-action. If we deliberately teach each other, do what we do, and teach what we don't do, the results will inevitably be very different. The slightest mistake is a thousand miles. Therefore, if you want to revive Taoism, you should follow nature and not be in a hurry. ”

When Changjing Zhenren heard this, his expression softened and he let out a long sigh.

Xiao Yi said: "The way of Taoism is the way of nature. Perhaps one day, Taoism will really cease to exist, but as long as heaven and earth naturally exist, Taoism will be everywhere. 'Japan and China will see each other, and things will live and die', this is the law of nature. The same is true of Taoism, its life and death have their own laws to follow, so why should real people stick to the false name of 'Taoism'?"

Changjing Zhenren was immediately surprised. Although he was proficient in the way of nature, he never dared to think about the survival of Taoism. Although I felt extremely uncomfortable when I heard the words "life and death", after thinking about it carefully, what Xiao Yi said was indeed very reasonable and irrefutable.

"What a way of nature! I can't imagine that the Taoist sect still has such a disciple who is so proficient in the Dao Method, which is really gratifying. An abrupt voice suddenly sounded, which startled Xiao Yi, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from. (To be continued.) )
